Hannibal officers arrested the 14th suspect identified as Schalan J. Mattox, 21 of Hannibal this morning for his part in a on-going illegal drug investigation by Hannibal police detectives. Officers observed Mattox as a passenger in a vehicle traveling on West Ely and a traffic stop of the vehicle was initiated. Mattox along with two other passengers identified as David A. Mayfield, 20 of Hannibal and Brittany C. Chamberlain, 19 of Palmyra were taken into custody as well. Mattox was arrested on a warrant (Marion County) for distribution of marijuana with bond set at $100,000 cash or bond.
